Experience a property of extraordinary distinction - one that stands alone in Lancaster City history. Bearing a rare and storied date stone, this is the oldest city townhouse in Lancaster, with origins dating back to 1762. Originally constructed by William and Elizabeth Bowsman, the sandstone Georgian townhome has been meticulously preserved, honoring its architectural integrity while seamlessly accommodating modern use. Ideally positioned in Lancaster’s Central Business District just one block from Penn Square, the property offers exceptional mixed-use potential. Approximately 5, 500 square feet of commercial space spans the first and lower levels, including primary office space thoughtfully designed by renowned architect C. Emlen Urban for Milton Hershey, with the intent of drawing his confectionery enterprise back to the region. A rare amenity for the city, the property also features a 14-car garage at the rear, complete with an EV charging station - an invaluable asset in this prime commercial zone. Above the commercial space lies a magnificently restored 3, 500-square-foot residence offering three bedrooms, three full baths, and one half bath. Fully upgraded between 2015 and 2016, the home blends historic character with refined, metropolitan finishes. Soaring ceilings, an open and airy layout, and thoughtfully curated details create a sophisticated urban retreat. Combining unparalleled history, premier location, flexible commercial opportunity, and exceptional residential living, this is a truly singular offering - representing the very finest of Lancaster City living.
